Ever since a labor lockout forced the NHL to miss an entire season, the sport has been trying its hardest to get back into favor with the fan base. Last year they made terrific strides as NHL 09 was the best sports game of the year by far, even trumping titles as Madden and FIFA. EA was faced with the decision on how to improve on what is an already stellar game. They followed the very simple, but effective mantra for NHL 10: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
NHL 09 was the best sports game of the year in 2008. By far. It was the smoothest, most realistic, and fun hockey experience to come our way since we made Gretzky’s head bleed back in 1993. How can they make an already outstanding game better? Easy. Add first person view fighting and physical play along the boards. NHL 10 looks amazing, plays amazing, and the only way this game would not top last year is if the NHL goes into another lockout and uses replacement players.
NHL 09 was my favorite sports game last year. It was also in the running for my favorite game in any genre in all of 2008. It was that good. By far the best hockey game ever made, NHL 10 looks to expand on an insanely in depth hockey experience. Here is what the devs at EA have planned for us. September 15th cannot come soon enough.
Coming Soon!
